(Wikipedia)
Butler is an outer suburb of Perth, Western Australia, 41 kilometres north of Perth's central business district. It is part of the City of Wanneroo local government area. It forms the majority of the Brighton Estate, a large commercial and residential development by Satterley.
Geography
Butler is bordered to the west by Jindalee and Quinns Rocks (Marmion Avenue), to the south by Merriwa and Ridgewood (Lukin Drive) and to the north by Alkimos (Butler Boulevard). The Mitchell Freeway separates Butler from the rural locality of Nowergup in the east.
2 kilometres west of Butler is the Indian Ocean.
History Name
"Butler" was approved by the Shire of Wanneroo for the area in 1979 in honour of John Butler, the first recorded explorer of the Wanneroo and Lake Joondalup areas in 1834.
The marketing of the "Brighton Estate" in Butler by Satterley, with many amenities and establishments also adopting the "Brighton" nameplate (e.g., Brighton Village Newsagency), has led to Brighton's becoming synonymous with Butler and causing confusion amongst residents and sight-seers alike. Residents submitted a petition to the City of Wanneroo in 2003 for the suburb's name to be permanently changed to Brighton. The request was rejected on account of duplication with many other places across Australia named Brighton, as well as the name's lacking both historical and cultural significance within the area.
Suburban development
Although Butler was gazetted in 1979, it remained unpopulated bushland until the early 2000s, with no landmarks or conventional roads providing direct access to the area. The Butler-Ridgewood Agreed Local Structure Plan was approved by the City of Wanneroo in 2002, allowing early subdivision and development of the site to commence in 2003 by Satterley, the principal investor in the suburb.
Satterley's Brighton Estate plan takes up all of Butler and also extends into the neighbouring suburbs of Ridgewood, Jindalee and Alkimos. Butler contains four sub-divisional estates within the Brighton area; "The Dunes", "The Green", "Seahaven" and "Junctions North".[8] Over $120 million was spent on landscaping, civil construction and community infrastructure to create the Seahaven and The Green estates, the Brighton Village Shopping Centre on Marmion Avenue and the Central Park Precinct.

“These cliff dwellings were built and occupied by the Anasazi Indians approximately 700 years ago. This ruin reflects the full range of living activities: habitation, ceremonial, farming, hunting, storage, and tool making. It contains four kivas, underground chambers where ceremonial activities took place. Three of the kivas are of the round Mesa Verde type most common in this area. The fourth kiva is a square type more commonly found in ruins to the south in Arizona. This indicates that the Anasazi here at Butler Wash were dominated by the Mesa Verde culture to the east and influenced less by the Kayenta culture to the south. Likewise, the ceramics found during stabilization indicate a pure Mesa Verde occupation during the 1200’s AD.
The kivas at this site are located toward the front of the largest cave, while habitation and storage rooms are visible behind them and in various caves and niches around the canyon.
The people who lived here farmed and hunted. Corn, beans, and squash were grown in the deep alluvial soils of the broad canyon to the south. A cycle of deep arroyo cutting may have made agriculture impossible by lowering the ground water level and making irrigation unfeasible. The current deep wash is a result of an erosion cycle which started in the 1890’s.
Whatever the reason – drought, overuse of natural resources, or waring neighbors – this site was abandoned before 1300 AD.” (US Bureau of Land Management)
This old church building, built in 1894, is located at the tiny crossroads of Butler Center, Indiana, just north of Ft Wayne. In addition to a few houses, there is a brick schoolhouse within a stone's throw that is used as a garage that also has a tower like this church.
A popular vehicle type with small firms now for school runs, ex Stagecoach Tridents are quite easy to identify with their beachball interiors.

Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate, Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face
She ain't a foolin' me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

Stored power is in abundance in Butler yard, including this SD60"B" unit at the head of the line. I guess "Do not occupy" was just not enough for the tagger.
One former CNW patched unit (9696) sits a few positions in the back. Go large.
